Honestly I think coming up with ways to get people to want smaller cars is the way to go. I don’t drive a big truck and I don’t understand the decisionmaking that goes into buying one. I’m hesitant to make rules that apply only to other people doing something I don’t understand.

Massively increase insurance rates for bigger cars. Again, this would have to be done through laws. Tax vehicles based on weight. Effect a radical transformation in culture that changes what people value. Which of these are most doable?
- dont__panic 4y agoNationwide tax based on weight seems like the winner to me. You want a giant car that destroys roads just by driving on them? You'll have to shell out cash based on that impact. You can always buy the smaller truck from OP's article if you truly just need to haul something.
